The Ulan Malgait Formation is a Late Jurassic geologic formation in Mongolia. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although as of 2004 none have yet been referred to a specific genus. It is best known for the Shar Teeg locality which has lent its name to Shartegosuchidae, a family of mesoeucrocodylians (relatives of crocodilians), many of which have been found there; Shartegosuchus (the family's type genus) means "Shar Teeg crocodile". It is divided up into 2 subunits, the lower Shar Teg Beds and the upper Ulan Malgait Beds.
